CLASS HISTORY On a warm day in Septeml er 1945, 43 soared first graders marched into the room of Mrs. Evelyn McCanna. ihere are only seven of the original 45 loft in our class. These seven are Sally Bagley, Florence Carrier, Leda Tremhlay, Maeanna Smith. Clermont Fournier, Eddie Chahot and John Benway. .Mrs. William Rohb guided us through the second grade, which passed very quickly. We went through the third grade with Miss Margaret Fay, where we were joined I v Leslie Flc ming. During this year Sandra Williams moved to Wolcott. Our teacher in the fourth grade was Miss White. We spent the fifth grade with Mrs. Ruth Schoolcraft. Anita Ciahoriault left at the beginning of the year, but returned to finish the year with us. Sandra Williams rejoined us in the sixth grade, which was supervised by Mrs. Woodcock. Now came the first big step in our education, junior high. At the beginning of this year we were joined by Elaine Ferland. We found this school life to be much different and much more difficult. In 1953, we had a year full of fun and studying. This was a very important year, our first year of high school. We were joined by Ruth Douglas, Freda Emery, Cccile Olney, Monique Remind, Tommy Dunn, and Denis I a may. That year we were guided by Mrs. Harriet Rouse who was very helpful to us. Our Sophomore year in high school made us feel grown up with many exciting moments ahead of us. We were joined by Winona Hatch, Alan Squires and Mare Del aricheliere. Our advisors were Mrs. Miriam McNaughton and Mr. Willard Simpson. During this year, our one-act play was directed by Mrs. McNaughton. We were now Juniors. This year we were under the supervision of Mrs. Hazel Gile. At the beginning of the year we were joined by Ida Carr and Carol Rublee. We were looking forward to getting our class rings. The sponsoring of tin Junior From, with the guidance of Mrs. Hazel Gile and Mr. Harry Brusa, was the biggest event of the year and a very successful one. Leda Tremblay was crowned Prom Queen. Our one-act play was again directed by Mrs. McNaughton. We had the great honor of placing first in this contest. At last we reached the year we had all been looking forward to. At the beginning of the year we were joined by Richard Wells. Mr. Harry Brusa, who guided us through this year, will never be forgotten. On April 12 we presented the play “Spring Fever”, a comedy in three acts directed by Mr. Brusa with Monique Remind. Elaine Ferland, Florence Carrier, Winona Hatch, Sandra Williams, Leda Tremhlay, Tommy Dunn. Clermont Fournier, Marc DcLariehelierc, and John Benway. It was a great success and enjoyed by all. The spring was busy as we prepared for graduation and our trip to New York which began Easter night. It was packed full of fun and excitement for all, including ball games, night clubs, museums, United Nations, boat rides, shopping, and sight seeing. Thechaperones were Mrs. Mae Gates, Mrs. Miriam McNaughton, Sir. Aubrey Brier, and Mr. Harry Brusa. Now we have reached the climax of our history that being Graduation. Although it is not recorded here it will Ik? always remembered by each of us. Cccile Olney, John Benway, and Edward Chahot 24 CLASS PROPHECY Place: The V. S. Mayflower Time: Three O’Clock in the afternoon. Year: 1982 As we are sitting here in the cool lounge sipping coktails on our way to Jamaica, we find ourselves engulfed in each others detailed explanations of what we have been doing for the past 25 years. First we find that Sandra Williams is now married and owns the Hardwick Diner. She is the Chief, Cook and Bottlewasher. Next to her is Florence Carrier. She is an entertainer with Tennessee Ernie Ford and his Feepicker-ettes and has just been proposed to, by the one and only Elvis Presley who is making a career in the service. Behind Florence we see Richard Wells. Dick is with the State Police Force keeping his favorite parking place down by Slayton’s occupied. Beside Dick is Elaine Ferland, more commonly known as Mrs. Stephen Hill. She is now employed as secretary of a certain grainry earning money to pay for gas which was burned up years ago. Next we find Sally Bagiev. She not only has half interest in Hernia's Store, but she is a partner in the coal and oil business. Beside Sally we find John Ben way. John is happily married and has a large family that he has to support. He is working on a large construction project out West, and writes poems for the Hardwick (iazette. Behind John we find Maeanna Smith. She is making money by the carload with her new boxing association. She also intends to be a boxer herself and is in hopes of taking the heavy-weight championship title. To the right of Maeanna we find Ida Carr. She is a photographer, and known throughout the country as a “nature girl.” taking pictures of wildlife in and around Hardwick. Beside Ida is Cecile Olney. She is now steadily employed at Olney’s Dairy Inc., as head stenographer. Now I see Thomas Dunn and his wife, Monique Rcnaud. Tommy is teaching English at Trinity College. Monique has a hard time trying to keep an eye on him as she is a French teacher at St. Mikes. She has just about given up watching him and is about to join the “Lonely Hearts Club.” Behind them my eyes rest on Edward Joseph Chahot III and Ix’da Tremblay. Eddy is happily married, and has taken Sawyer I ee’s place as salesman for the Balfour Company. He spends the coldest part of the Vermont winters in the West Indies, basking in tin sun. D la is a model for French A' French Company, modeling hats. She is very fond of her work, which takes her to the leading cities of the nation. Beside l.eda is Anita (laboriault. She is setting up her own kindergarten at old II. A. but is finding it rather difficult to teach youngsters those equations she learned at an early age herself. With Anita is Carol Bublee. She is a new’s reporter for tin Hardwick (lazette and her column is “The (lossip Review.” Behind Carol is Denis Leinay. He is pounding his thumbs with a nail hammer and is clipping his fingernails with a buzz-saw at his new job as carpenter and janitor of II. A. Now beside Denis we see Freda Emery. She is full pledged owner of Jerry’s Diner, which specializes in pizza. After watching them Iwing made in New York, she has become an expert in the art. To the left of Freda is Clermont Fournier. He lias a wonderful profession as one of the nation’s best dentists, but lie finds it quite difficult to use his horse pliers in the average man’s mouth. Behind Clermont is Ruth Douglas, now Mrs. Boh Harlow and settled down to a quiet family life with nine darling youngsters. Beside Ruth is Alan Squire and Winona Hatch, “Binkv” as most everyone rails her. Alan has traveled round the world trying to get someone to go to Mars with him, in his latest invention. Pinky is now Mrs. Charles Lam pile re and living in Alaska. She works for the Polar Bear Fur Company as a stenographer. Last, hut not least we meet Leslie “Bud Fleming and Mare DeLarieheliere. Bud owns a brewery in down town Boston. His motto is“ Bud's Beer is Bet.ter Beer.” Mare is working for the General Electric Company making good money from his invention of the automatic refill ice rube tray. Real cool cat, don’t you think? Now that we are at our destination and have finished discussing our whereabouts of the past 2 years, with fun and laughter, we shall have to say goodbye to you, until we meet again.

A. Representatives Student Council Thomas Dunn Clermont Fournier Elaine Ferland Monique Renaud Sally Bagiev Richard Wells Edward Chabot Anita Gaboriault Marc DeLaricheliere Thomas Dunn PRO MERITO Elaine Ferland Anita Gaboriault Cecile Olney Monique Renaud SALUTATORIAN ADDRESS Parents, religious leaders, teachers and friends: Welcome to the 1957 Commencement exercises. It is indeed a great honor to extend to you this welcome on behalf of the class of ’57. Mere, this evening we have reached the goal towards which we have striven for twelve years. It is also a time when we may thank you for the education that you have made possible for us. When we thank you for our education what do we mean? The aims to Im achieved through education are; the wise use of our leisure time, vocational training, learning to be a worthy member of our home, and a knowledge of fundamental learning processes. If education can Ik defined as the fulfillment of these aims we feel justified in saying we have been and shall continue to be educated. In social science courses we have learned in what era our institutions had their t eginnings. We learned to recognize the qualities and capacities of good statesmen and we have seen that the nation was saved from the danger of falling under the domination of a monarchy. The firm rule of the people which we have in the I’nited States has proved our democracy to be sound political institution. Through social science courses we have come to a clear comprehension not only of our rights and liberties but of our duties and responsibilities. We have learned to make wise use of our leisure time. This has been taught us both through our religion and school. The study of literature has taught us to understand the minds of great men and created in us a desire to enlarge our knowledge. We are, as are most small schools, limited as to vocational training. We have three courses offered us. A general course gives one a broad view but limited practical knowledge of many fields. From this course many of us discover what trade would interest us after graduation. Many girls undertake a commercial course which qualifies them for office work. The English scientific course prepares those who want to go on to further studies. While a greater breadth of training and knowledge could have been presented to us, there has been a daily contact with many new ideas. The mind has been given sufficient, opportunity thoroughly to digest all that came to it. Life in a small country school does not always have breadth, but it has depth. It is neither artificial nor superficial, but is depth close to realities. We have seen in history that any successful longstanding society has been centered around the home. By going to a public school and having our home duties we have made ourselves a useful part of this small society. The importance of this cannot Im estimated. The development of one’s character comes almost entirely from outside oneself when he is young. It is taught by the home, church, and one’s entire environment. Religion is a very important factor in the shaping of character. It breaks down selfishness; it helps us to overcome evil; it supplants impulse and enthrones reason. There comes a time in the development of every individual when he emerges from his immature ways and by the greater precision of his thoughts and actions realizes that he has begun to find himself. This transition does not come accidentally, but it is the result of hard work. Some of us have found ourselves; others of us will find ourselves in the future. 'This has been the goal of our education. If we let failures or what may seem to us at the time a lack of success discourage us, we cannot make progress. If we keep our faith in God and in ourselves, and if we apply ourselves to our work we need not fear the outcome. Anita Gaboriaull VALEDICTORY ADDRESS Parents, Teachers, and Friends: To-night we graduate! Graduate from twelve short years of studying, working, playing, searching for an education that will enable us to accomplish some good; with strength to battle difficulties and overcome them, grace to confess our sins and forsake them, patience enough to toil until some good is accomplished, charity to see some good in our neighbor, faith enough to make real the things of God, hope enough to remove all anxious fear concerning the future. “To each is given a bag of tools, A shapeless mass, a book of rules, And each must make, ere life is flown A stumbling block or a stepping stone. And what do we have in this bag of tools? First and of greatest importance is faith. History is but a record of the triumph of faith and human hope, an even continuing story of the eventual triumph of good over evil. We go out into a tough world filled with crises and forbodings, war and persecution. History again shows us that it has always been so, but Love, Brotherhood, and Freedom under God, can and have been beheaded, stoned, burned and crucified. There have Ijccn slavery, ignorance, and intolerance. Faith has held on, building hospitals, asylums, schools, abolishing slavery, giving men and women more dignity and human rights, giving refuge to the persecuted. Every age has had its Caesars, and its Pilatcs. We have the ruthless rulers of the Soviet I’nion. But the freedom fighters of Hungary have shown us that truth and faith cannot be completely trodden into the earth. They have given hope and courage to all the world. A noted preacher when asked why Daniel was not devoured by the lions replied. “Because most of him was backbone and the rest was grit. So alongside our lamp of faith may we find grit and back-gone to give us courage and strength to encounter what may come, to make us brave in peril, temperate in wrath, and in all changes of fortune give us loyalty and a quiet mind. As we read of atom bomb explosions, it will help us to see the flowers blooming all around, hear the birds singing, watch a robin building her nest, hear a neighbor whistling cheerily in his garden, seea batch of newborn kittens. The bomb is made by man; evidences of spring are heaven born. We will not be afraid. The‘shapeless mass’, I think, is happiness. And happiness, the joy of living, consists of‘giving and doing for somebody else’ on this, ‘all life’s splendor depends’. It is easily done, a gift of clothing or food to the persons who need it. a kind word to the sorrowful, an expression of encouragement to the striving. trifles in themselves, but they will do much good in 24 hours. We may rest assured it will come back to us, so let’s look at the result. If we send one person-only one-happily thru each day, that would be thousands in the course of a year. Our main purpose in life, I think, is “To be a little kindlier With the passing of each day To leave but happy memories As we go along our way. To use possessions that are ours In service full and free. To sacrifice the trivial things For large good to be: To give of love in lavish way That friendship true may live: To lx loss quick to criticize More ready to forgive. To use such talents as we have That happiness may grow To take the hitter with the sweet. Assured ’tis better so To lx quite free from self intent What e’er the task we do. To help the world’s faith stronger grow In all that’s good and true, To keep our faith in God and right No matter how things run; To work and play and pray and trust Until the journey’s done. God grant to us the strength of heart, Of motive and of will To do our part and falter not His purpose to fulfill.” Before we leave we wish to thank our parents, our teachers and our church for striving all these years to give us a firm cornerstone upon which we may build usefulness, security, happiness and peace. Elaine Ferland CLASS POEM This friendly old school we are leaving And in later years all will lx grieving. We’re leaving our friends, young and old And leaving our colors, the purple and gold. Twelve years we’ve walked with heads uplifted, Thinking of our future plans Though there are some that arc more gifted They all will walk with the common man. Now as we take these last few strides On the path we have known so well We think of the ones who stood by our sides To make sure that we never fell. Maeanna Smith Alan Squire. 37 H. A.

Shat tuck THE CLEFS BOYS’ SPORTS The 1056-57 I asketball season at Hardwick Academy was not very successful from the viewpoint of its won lost record but the players acquired valuable experience toward a better season next year. There are only three varsity players being graduated this year. They are Thomas Dunn, Clermont Fournier, and Richard Wells. Mr. Shields did a very good job succeeding Mr. James Rowell as coach, who left us for military duty. The overall record was 10-15 for all the games and 410 for Green Mountain League play. They lost 2 league games by one point and these games, if won would have advanced them one place in the standings. On behalf of the Class of 1057, I wish Coach Shields and all the boys the best of luck next year.
